Abstract

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy is an established transient cardiomyopathy found predominately in females with intense emotional and physical strain. It has four notable variants: Apical, Mid-Ventricular, Basal and Focal. Mid Ventricular variant is also referred to as Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. Dengue is a viral arthopod-borne tropical disease endemic to Pakistan, with multiple reports of cardiovascular involvement. We report an atypical presentation of a 17 year old male, suffering from Dengue Fever, who presented to a tertiary care hospital with Reverse Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy.
